Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In his theses, Luther condemned the excesses and corruption of the Roman Catholic Church, especially the papal practice of asking payment-called “indulgences”-for the forgiveness of sins.
Detailed explanation-2: -It was the year 1517 when the German monk Martin Luther pinned his 95 Theses to the door of his Catholic church, denouncing the Catholic sale of indulgences-pardons for sins-and questioning papal authority. That led to his excommunication and the start of the Protestant Reformation.
